The  National Park and the  Municipality of Mavrovo, the Macedonian Bicycle Federation,  Hotel Alpina Mavrovo,  Hotel Radika, Hotel Bistra and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands invite you to join the first official Mavrovo Tour! Let’s walk, cycle and enjoy the natural beauties of Mavrovo Lake together on Sunday, 14 June 2009 starting at 12:00 hrs. 

The goal of the tour is to promote the natural beauties of the Mavrovo Lake and its surroundings and to give bicycle and walking enthusiasts an opportunity to enjoy them. It will include different biking and walking distances, varying from 2 km to a full (bike) tour around the lake. Special activities for children will be organised and music performances will take place on different locations during the day. Participation is free of charge.

We hope that this event, which aims at increasing the visibility of the Mavrovo National Park and placing  it on the map of the Macedonian and the international tourists, will become a yearly event. We would therefore like to invite you to support it by joining us for this wonderful opportunity to explore the hidden beauties of the Mavrovo region.
